Behind the Formula

After the summer break + skipping over 2 unimpressive GPs, we are finally back to talk about Monza. And by ‘talk about Monza’ we mean yell about the McLaren 1-2 for a while, go on a few tangents, and do poor renditions of popular songs for our own amusement.

In this week's episode we recap the 2021 Hungarian GP, from first lap bowling to one of the most wholesome podiums we have seen. Along the way the phrase “French string bean” is said too often, many accents are butchered, and maybe even a thoughtful point is made.

Come for the race review, stay for the bad puns and hectic retelling of mundane life events. In this episode we discuss the British GP, covering everything from our feelings about sprint racing and new car design to that chaotic first lap and less than stellar pit stops.

In this week’s episode we cover all things Austrian (and Styrian) GP, starting with a very logical conversation about penalties and ending with a very illogical discussion about which drivers we think could be the main character in an anime and why Mercedes needs to visit Italy.

In this week’s extra long episode we discuss the chaos that was the Azerbaijan GP, covering everything from the red flag extravaganza that was quali to our favorite battles from the race restart.

It’s a Monaco double feature! 

Join us as we review the good, the bad, and the silly of the 2021 Monaco GP, covering everything from Ferrari’s bad math to our theories about the new regulations (spoiler: it involves genies). Stay till the end to catch our bonus review of Formula E’s Monaco E-Prix and thoughts about the series (also spoiler: we like it alot).

In this episode we get into the interwar period (1920 to 1939) and explore not only a golden age of crazy drivers (looking at you Louis Chrion, Rudi Caracciola, and Tazio Nuvolari), but also how the socio-political environment of Europe affected racing and vice versa. Starting with the slow trainwreck that was the 1920s constructors series, we trace the origins of organized grand prix driver’s championships and consider how they helped shape Formula One. We also talk about pet monkeys and 1980s Miami drug dealers- but you will have to listen to find out how all that ties in!

In this week's episode we recap all things Spanish GP, from the epic game of pitstop ‘will they won't they’ put on by Mercedes and Red Bull to our favorite midfield battles. A few hot takes are thrown out, some bad impressions are done - bon appetit!

In this episode we bring you some lukewarm takes from the 2021 Portuguese GP. Along the way we discuss which team principle we think would win a FIA sponsored modeling competition, why the electric mini cooper is a great safety car, and how much we enjoy drivers finding out important information live on air.
